Emerde Warning

I was reading a thread here the other day and Slackware users were talking about trying "emerde" for Slackware. Don't remember what thread it was so Im posting this here.

I've talked to a couple of people that have told me that emerde borked their Slack and had to reinstall their system. Don't know specifics yet but I thought I would post a warning here a quickly as posssible.

When you install Emerde , its a good idea to backup your '/sbin/' + '/var/log'
directories . It makes some big changes to your package managment system .
Its really quite an excellent port{age} . If you're not satisfied , you can enter 'uninstall-emerde' into bash , then replace your '/sbin/' + '/var/log/' directories to how they were before .

Thats exactly what I told the developer in an email the other night .
And then later that night , while I was having a puff, I started to worry that he thought that I meant that emerde was ****** .
